It's actually not much to tell.
About 6 of us were last to leave on a quiet security gig, I was last on the Huey from left side, when a RPG hits the ground off the right skid just after lift off.
Pilot jerks hard over throwing me into and then back out of the chopper when he over corrects. My partner grabs my rifle with one hand and another trooper
with the other. He has the rifle by the buffer tube with the rail, then barrel as it slips, on the copter's deck. I only weighed about 165 then, and not a lot
of gear so they snatched me right back up.
Overwatch said we were only at about 7 to 8 meters at explosion but about 30 to 35 when they got me back in.
This was S America a pretty long time ago, and I've flown "economy" since, but not like that.
